Described are reduced calorie edible plastic fat compositions based on mixtures of triglycerides being various combinations of short (C.sub.2 to C.sub.4), saturated long (C.sub.16 to C.sub.22), and monounsaturated long (C.sub.16 to C.sub.22) chain fatty acid residues, and the use of such composition

Described are reduced calorie edible plastic fat compositions based on mixtures of triglycerides being various combinations of short (C.sub.2 to C.sub.4), saturated long (C.sub.16 to C.sub.22), and monounsaturated long (C.sub.16 to C.sub.22) chain fatty acid residues, and the use of such compositions in edible compositions such as shortenings and margarines.

[ What is claimed is:] [1.]1. A reduced-calorie, edible plastic fat composition comprising a triglyceride mixture of two or more triglycerides of the following formulae:wherein each R is, independently, a long chain fatty acid residue having between 16 and 22 carbon atoms;each R' is, independently,

[ What is claimed is:] [1.]1. A reduced-calorie, edible plastic fat composition comprising a triglyceride mixture of two or more triglycerides of the following formulae:wherein each R is, independently, a long chain fatty acid residue having between 16 and 22 carbon atoms;each R' is, independently, a short chain acid residue selected from the group consisting of acetyl, propionyl and butyryl;said mixture contains between about 40 wt % to about 95 wt % di-short species of the Formula SSL and the Formula SLS, and from about 5 wt % to about 60 wt % di-long species of the Formula LLS and the Formula LSL, with wt % being based on the total weight of the di-short and di-long species;from about 3 wt % to about 40 wt % of the R groups are unsaturated, said unsaturation being substantially monounsaturation, with wt % being based on the total weight of R groups in the mixture;said triglyceride mixture is plastic at ambient temperature; andsaid composition contains no more than about 20 wt % of a triglyceride plasticizing additive, with wt % being based on the total weight of the composition.
